Iran
Two years ago if I'd heard a report on NPR's Morning Edition about the "growing pro-American sentiment" in Iran I wouldn't have thought much about it. Hearing it this morning filled me with dread. Is this the start of a campaign to convince us that most Iranians actually want us to invade their country and bomb them into "democracy"?
And what does it mean to have "pro-American sentiments"? Many of the high profile opponents of the current Iranian theocracy proudly identify as liberals and secularists. I wish I knew more about the particular aspects of this country these liberals find admirable, and why exactly their "pro-American" sentiments are "growing" as we continue to wage war in Iraq, if in fact this is truly the case. I'm not expecting NPR to clarify this much.
